Losing a Silver Medal in a Moment

What Choice did She have?

I'm generally a hopeless romantic but when I seen this I couldn't help but to feel something different.
Have you ever had your efforts pushed out of the way, or dismissed like it didn't matter? Have you ever had someone take away your glory moment?

All the media outlets are sharing this glorious event that is being spread throughout the whole world.

Not saying that the two don't love each other and that they don't deserve to be happy and get married.
What I am saying however is this is really BAD timing.

Let's break it down. This beautiful girl has trained her whole life for this moment in time. She actually won a medal. Just getting to the Olympics is a big deal and then actually placing for a medal. Come on let that soak in. That's incredible and needs to be celebrated and shared. That's huge!

How often really are women celebrated in this world for our accomplishments outside of the home? We have to fight for everything we get. Yes we can be celebrated for keeping a nice house or for having a baby, getting pregnant, cooking a great meal or for landing a husband.
But now in my opinion every time she sees her medal, the one she trained her whole life to get is now the day she got engaged in front of the world.

It's the day she said yes in front of the world, what choice did she really have? She was on such a high of a lifetime and it was taken away from a ring in a box, her only concern were to be the five rings in the Olympics emblem. Talk about pressure.

No where in the history of any huge wins would you ever see a women take away the glory of a man winning. If you do please share below. Or winning an Oscar, you walk up on stage to get the Oscar and do your acceptance speech and your partner walks up and pops the question. Yikes.

Sorry for all the Cinderella seekers out there, and hey the world can use some good news, that's why we watch the Olympics in the first place but I feel bad for this girl.

Because right afterwards everyone was now congratulating her on her getting a diamond and wanting to see it instead of the medal that hung around her neck.

And another scary thing is half of marriages end in divorce. Or even if this couple fights well when they do, it'll all be pointed back to that when it all started which was to be the best day of her life.
The to be groom made this moment about him instead of her. Now when you search for a story or a photo of her accepting her medal it's been replaced by this moment.
